Jaswant Singh Khalra was a human rights defender that was born in 1952 in Khalra village of Amritsar district. He was a bank employee in Amritsar during the 1980's. He researched information about his missing colleagues, and this led him to find files from the municipal corporation of Amritsar which had information of the names, age, address of thousands of Sikhs who had been killed and illegally cremated by the Punjab Police.

In 1995, Shaheed Jaswant Singh was washing his car in front of his house, and disappeared. Eyewitnesses have pointed fingers at the butcher of Punjab - KPS Gill, but the Punjab Police deny that they arrested him, and claim they know nothing about where he is.
